2013 Map of Custer

About this map

Fairfield and Hudson anchor a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and family lineage in this 2013 survey. The rural character of this region is evidenced by the high density of small cemeteries, such as Horsley Cem, McCamish Cem, and Goodhope Cem, many of which sit adjacent to family-named roads like Willard Dupin Rd and Kennedy Rd. The topography transitions from the high ground of Marks Ridge down into the Duncan Valley, eventually meeting the finger-like inlets of Rough River Lake. The intricate network of waterways, including Fiddlers Cr, N Fork Rough River, and Muddy Prong, illustrates a drainage system that has historically dictated the placement of early homes and farms throughout this part of Kentucky.
